Most bulk stores and supermarkets sell washing soda but if you live in a small town with only one store, mobilize your friends and get everyone to urge your local store to stock it. If enough customers ask for a product, the store is sure to respond. An excellent alternative for cleaning burnt pots is a thickish paste of water and baking soda (bicarbonate of soda). In bulk stores this is very much cheaper than the packaged product. Apply and leave to stand, rub gently. Repeat, many times if necessary! Burnt pots are notoriously hard to clean. Some never come right, but most do with gentle, patient treatment.
